Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter Series Owned by Ian D'Sa of Billy Talent

This Zvex Fuzz Factory Vexter Series is Owned by Ian D'Sa of Billy Talent.

This is a five-knob fuzz using two new old-stock sixties germanium transistors. The circuit is not modeled after any classic fuzz design. The five knobs are controls for various operating levels and biases, and basically shape you a personalized fuzz.

VOLUME: Output level

GATE: Squelches noise after end of sustain. Turn to right to eliminate squeals, hiss and buzz, stopping just as they disappear, or use to tune in exact feedback pitch, if you’re that kind. Turning to left opens gate.

COMPRESS: Adds attack characteristic when turned to left, which gets softer to right, and suddenly pinches tone when all the way right. Also use to tune in fat feedback fuzz. Lower the Stability and see what happens to this control.

DRIVE: Increases distortion when used as “normal” fuzz and adjusts feedback pitch and tonal thickness.

STAB: This control becomes meaningless when Compress is all the way right. Use all the way right. Do not adjust this control below 2:00, unless you like your fuzz soft and squishy. Use to control feedback pitch.
